Little House Cushion Workshop on 16th Dec 2010

Our Crafting Studio was filled with chatting & laughter last Thursday when our crafter-in-residence, Periwinkle, had her sewing workshop. 2 of the ladies turned out to be a hardcore fan of Periwinkle even before the workshop! So the experience was like learning from a celebrity idol for them B-) Teacher Suzanne even thoughtfully brought some Nonya pastries for the tea-break. All the colourful & pretty Little Houses sure made our studio a lot more cosy & lovely that day! ;)

"Eat with Family" - a Group Art Exhibition

It's been my personal goal to be involved in at least 1 exhibition every year. The biggest gotta be my 1st solo show "Mee Suah" in 2008. Well, this year with bb Edda on the way, I thought would not be able to come up with anything :( Fortunately & quite timely enough, I was approached by Kelvin, 1 of the curators of this exhibition, to be part of this show. Of course I agreed to participate almost immediately! ;)

I'm showcasing a family portrait in my knitted art style. 48x36inches, my biggest piece of knitted art so far ;) Yes, VERY AMBITIOUS indeed... :P Nevertheless, it's been fun working on it... I believe bb Edda enjoys the process too, since she's ALWAYS kicking while I'm painting! ;P Kelvin, thanx for the opportunity!

I'll be at the opening on 17th May 2010 (Mon). Sure hope to see some fo u there too! ;)

KBCC #23 - Colour Pencils

In view of the soon arrival of my little girl, I've decided to stop KBCC for the time-being, until I adapt to my mew role as a mummy :) KBCC met for our last crafting session for this year 2010, last saturday on 24th April 2010. For the 1st time since KBCC shifted our venue to Knotty Bicsie Crafting Studio, we met with some rain at he beginning of our session... Mixed feelings...
For this month's activity, we explored the vast possibilities of colour pencils (both water-soluble & non-water-soluble) as a medium. Colour pencil has always been one of my favourite medium. It's easy to handle, clean & neat :)
As usual, we had our yummy makan time! :) This month, we had yummy 933 Golden Pillow Curry Chicken Bun... When we ran out of curry gravy, KBCC-ians asked for Kaya & we had Kaya Bun for dessert! hehe...
Check out our brilliant work-in-progress! :)))

KBCC #22 - Friendship Pen

After stopping for a month in Febraury, we are once again back for more crafting last Saturday! :) This time, we did something which I enjoyed doing alot for my friends & teachers during my Primary & Secondary school days - Friendship Pen. We basically weaved our names & patterns onto regular, plain-looking pens.
As simple as it may look, to weave the alphabets, while coiling the pen, actually requires quite a bit of concentration & imagination. Look how everyone's deep in concentration... :P
When we were finally done, our playful Rita & Moses had lotsa fun posing with their masterpieces! Aren't they cute?? lol... :D
Check out our vibrant work of heart! :)
Since last Saturday was a small group, we decided to just get KFC :P Had a looong nice chat over makan... & KBCC ended much later than usual :)

Special Announcement
KBCC will be meeting for a LAST session for 2010 on 24th April 2010 (Sat). After which I will be taking a break to prepare for the arrival of my Little Princess Edda :) Hopefully by 2011 I will have fully adapted to this new phase of my life & can once again rekindle the dynamites of KBCC :) Details of our last session as follows:

KBCC #21 - Pocket Tissue Cover

Last Sat, as usual, KBCC met up again to craft. This time round, we did some sewing & made a pocket tissue cover, which we all jokingly claimed that it'll now be our beautiful "tool" to "chop" tables @hawker centres with, with much pride! hehe... :P
Some of us chose to hand-sew, while others happily try our hands at my new sewing machine, which has proven to be very user friendly, even for beginners :) With sewing, of course we also did some ironing. We all had fun!
Check out our masterpieces! ;)

Our dear friend, Ee Wei, once again did her very own KBCC Craft & mail over to us, all the way from Canada. Now Jasper is the proud owner of Ee Wei's "made-with-love". Ee Wei, I've just mailed out Jasper's "made-with-love" out to you yesterday afternoon. So look out for a little surprise in your mailbox ;)
KBCC never goes without yummy food as reward after an afternoon of hardwork :P This time we had sedap lontong :) Despite the heat, everyone went for 2nd, some even 3rd helping, coz it's simply SEDAP! :)
As for dessert, we had chocolate cake in celebration of the February Babies' birthday. Shireen, Ellen & Jasper, here's wishing u once again a happy birthday & may all your wishes come true! :)

Hand-Stitched Journal Workshop @Civil Service College

I had a fun time with 5 lovely ladies @Civil Service College yesterday morning. They are put in-charged of coaching their colleagues in making something using primarily recycled materials. So my job there was to teach them how to conduct this workshop to all their 50-60 other colleagues :) They were all very sporting & fun-loving. We all had an enjoyable morning...
The very talented Sueann even whipped up a poem especially for me within minutes!
"Betsy's very nice
She taught me a new vice
Measuring, cutting,
Threading, wearing,
With a smile on a face
And a patient grace.
Thanks again, Betsy,
from Knotty Bicsie!"
- Sueann, 21st Jan 2010.

"It's been a fun & interesting session... learning how to put together things we tend to just throw! TQ, Betsy..." - Lynette, 21st Jan 2010.

"Dear Betsy, this is a day I travel back in time some years back to my Home Econs Class. The session has been fun!" - Pauline Ma, 21st Jan 2010.

"Betsy, thank you for the interesting handicraft session. It's fun to make and easy to do." - Pauline Teo, 21st Jan 2010.

"Dear Betsy, thanks for the fun & enriching session. I really enjoyed it!" - Ellen, 21st Jan 2010.

Special thanks to Ellen, who's patiently made all the necessary arrangement, for this fruitful workshop!

KBCC #20 - X'mas Gathering

We had a fun-filled X'mas gathering on Boxing Day. We even had 3 special guests - EeWei & Darcy, all the way from Edmonton; plus Mummy Jullie & Baby Joel! ;)
Since our gathering was on Boxing Day, a number of our "regulars" were not able to join us coz of family parties. Nevertheless, we still had a nice cosy potluck. :) We had our X'mas feast over a video conference with our crafting friend, EeWei, who is all the way in Edmonton, enjoying her white X'mas. EeWei was having super while we were having our early dinner. It really felt like we were feasting at the same table! Magic of technology... :)
After dinner, we had a movie screening of my favourite Animation - Up. Everyone totally enjoyed the show too :) Then we had a little game of Bingo & here are the 4 lucky winners...
Finally we had our gift exchange & everyone had a fun time wrapping our presents...
